Empirical Review of Smart Contract and DeFi Security: Vulnerability Detection and Automated Repair

Understand

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is emerging as a peer-to-peer financial ecosystem, enabling participants to trade products on a permissionless blockchain.

• Built on blockchain and smart contracts, the DeFi ecosystem has experienced explosive growth in recent years.
• Unfortunately, smart contracts hold a massive amount of value, making them an attractive target for attacks.
• So far, attacks against smart contracts and DeFi protocols have resulted in billions of dollars in financial losses, severely threatening the security of the entire DeFi ecosystem.
